Title: file access
Post by: Marcel on September 05, 2003, 04:19:24 AM

I am trying find the files I put into the primary i-bay from the shell prompt and I cannot find them anywhere.  I have logged in as 'root'.  My understandig was that the primary i-bay is same as /var/www/html or /var/www ;  I am running version 6 beta 3.  Thankyou for your help

Try to find the file with the find command as in #find / -name 'filename' . In this example 'find' is the command,  '/' is begin at the root directory, -name is the switch and 'filename' is the file you are looking for. The filename must be in single quotes and wild cards are allowed such as ? and *. Goto google.com and search for the find command. BTW the Primary Ibay web doc root is at '/home/e-smith/files/primary/html'

Correction Bill, on 6beta3 the doc root is /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html.  Changed as of 6.0.

Terry,
It seems I can get to the same location using either PATH, mine or yours. If you go to /home/e-smith/files you will see a link of the primary directory to the PATH you stated. Your PATH is 100% correct and my PATH is just a link to it. Learn something everyday !
